I just confirmed the idea I had for several years: yes, as soon as the cold days arrive the streets start to get filled with people dressed in black and a hundred shades of grey that imitate the color of asphalt and sidewalks. I don’t blame them, I’m the first one who wants to resuscitate the black leather jackets from the deepest side of my closet and those oversized coats that allow you to wear three layers underneath if you need it, regardless if you’re wearing dirty, new or old clothes, no one has to know if you’re wearing a nice coat on top and a more or less combed hair.

I propose you to do something new this season: forget about black for at least once per week, a day where the main color is one of rich intensity that, instead of mimicking the boring streets, simulates the color of the leaves on autumn (or something a little less cheesy than that). Going to work is too monotonous already to be dressed in black everyday, if you find it difficult to stay away from the darkest side of the wardrobe like I do, pick dresses or sets that are fool-proof to put together like this one from Bar III, even if you overslept.
